Safety, trust & environment

Within your home, I would be more than happy to perform whatever duties are needed to keep your animals safe and happy. Whether that's kettling them when away or using a slow lead leash on walks. Just let me know what works best for you. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I will try to replicate it to the best of my ability.

Shykala was great. She was responsive to messages, sent me lots of photos and my shy cats came out to play with her.

Shykala is professional, communicative and extremely thorough. Best of all she is amazing with our animals, from the elderly dog to the feisty young cat. We highly recommend her!

Shykala took fantastic care of my pup while I was away! She was excellent at communicating and sent several detailed updates which kept my mind at ease. She also kept my home tidy and ensured my pet received his daily medications in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

Shykala did an amazing job with our dogs! She kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone, and I could tell the boys were having a great time while we were gone! We would definitely book Shykala again.
